Wow, what a long break it has been! Let’s get right back in the groove and get to our first order of business. Back in 2008, I promised we would write more about the work of two French designers, Sophie Roberty and Christophe Beauséjour, better known as Créa Créa. I am about to make good on that promise.
The object I selected for today’s post is an accessory for the now near-ubiquitous tablet…

The Chain lamp, designed by Ilaria Marelli Studio for Nemo / Cassina does away with the traditional desk lamp form - in fact, it can assume radically different forms as your work requires, since it’s composed of three links connected with flexible joints (plus the base).

It is widely known that some flowers - roses in particular, have thorns. Yet, for some reason, the vases we put those flowers into are usually suspiciously smooth. Japanese designer Ikuko Iwamoto decided to challenge that outdated notion by designing a vase that shows a little more character - perhaps befittingly if the owner’s temperament is as prickly. The result is the Pofupofu Flower Vase…
